I was able to do a lot of reading over the holiday period. As we begin a new year, a little backtrack to emphasize much of what we all seem to keep forgetting. All of the ideas I express in Read more…
In the previous post I outlined how one of the most pressing problems of the day in 1899 had been the widespread accumulation of horse poop, but how that had been resolved by the adoption of a new technology – Read more…
Just a couple of weeks ago I attended a City Council Meeting to support a local measure to have the Power Company in my area commit to 100% Renewable Energy by 2030. I sat patiently to the agenda of the Read more…
News stories that you hear from the mainstream that are not negative tend only to revolve around new positive technological innovations. That is the creativity that excites us. We get excited by things that work well and improve conditions. Yet, Read more…
I have talked many times about our need to become more collaborative, but what models exist in the political arena that use collaboration and not disruptive competition. The concept of Synergistic Democracy was first proposed by Barbara Marx Hubbard (World Read more…
It is a misconceptionthat the ultimate power belongs to the government because the greatest powerhas always and will always belong to the people. The 1% knows this, which is why they divideus, so we can hate and fear each other, Read more…
Imagine, if we were contacted by an alien race, what is the story we want to tell about humanity? Would we want to emphasize the brutality or the humanity of our species? Think about the message we sent out into Read more…
The mainstream news is not about what is working well, but only about what is NOT working. If the mainstream is all that you hear then you can be forgiven for thinking that the world is heading to hell in Read more…
A key aspect of a flourishing culture is one that allows people to be the creative beings they know themselves to be, in whatever form that takes for any one individual. I really believe that we are not meant to Read more…
If we see everybody as ‘same to me’ or ‘other than me’ we find that this creates either compassion or fear respectively. What separates communities that work and have resilience is that they bond together for the benefit of the Read more…
One of the greatest challenges we face (as I have talked about earlier in this blog) is that of education for a flourishing future. Scholar Sir Ken Robinson makes a big point about how our educational systems are not designed Read more…
I have informally counseled many people over the years. By far the most popular comment that always comes up is that everyone feels a need to do something ‘useful’ in life and the big question, “Why am I here and Read more…
Fear was the midwife at the conceptual birth of separation. The attendants were desire, greed, suffering, and anger. Michael Roads Imagine being much more free than you are now. Once you decide to express yourself as you truly would like Read more…
“We are the most obese, medicated, addicted, and in-debt Americans EVER. Why? We have access to more information, more books, and good science – why are we struggling like never before? Because we don’t talk about the things that get Read more…
We have two choices. We can spend our resources on war, security, walls, fences, borders or we can spend our resources meeting the needs of ALL people by creating an economy of sustainable abundance, which would make obsolete all of Read more…
In the face of climate breakdown and ecological overshoot, alluring promises of “green growth” are no more than magical thinking. We need to restructure the fundamentals of our global cultural/economic system to cultivate an “ecological civilization”: one that prioritizes the Read more…
I previously outlined how different types of business paradigms are setting out to change how we do business (See (previous post Businesses making a difference). Much of this post is from my Sustainable Living Text but I will introduce it Read more…
Human power comes from every human being on the planet. The reason that the ultra elite-hierarchy or Cabal have such power is that we collectively give them our power. We can happily exist without this super hierarchy – we don’t Read more…
Heretic – original use of the term, “Someone who is in possession of the facts and is able to choose.” Anyone in the world following politics in the USA will have noticed the final acts of ‘civic disengagement’ occuring. Since Read more…
Hi everyone, and apparently that is now a lot of you that have recently discovered my blog. I’ve had lots of comments from the comments section and while it is wonderful and positive feedback, I have to be honest because Read more…
We are at a crucial juncture in human existence. Besides the need to grow spiritually (and for those that haven’t read my earlier posts on this, I emphasize that this does not automatically include religion, which itself is a control Read more…
In earlier posts (Spirituality Vs. Religion 1 – 5) I talked about how Emperor Constantine assembled the Economical Councils to highly edit the Christian religious texts that would be acceptable for the bible and expunged teaching that didn’t fit the Read more…
In my earlier posts of ‘Spirituality vs. Religion’ and ‘How Control Happens’ I covered how we are manipulated by elite hierarchies (the Cabal) to fit within certain norms of behavior. These arbitrary norms have become our consensus reality within whose Read more…
Psycho-neuro immunology – How people think affects not only how they feel but also the neurotransmitter systems in the body – so how you think really does affect your well-being and your health in a direct physical way. Stress from Read more…
I have talked several times in the blog about reality and how quantum science tells us it is an illusion and that the world is a holographic simulation (see posts The non-solid universe 1-4). Most people caught up in the Read more…
The last five posts were a story of how we globally came to be bamboozled by American Hyper-Consumerism. The problem is not so much consumerism as the economic drive that forced a tragic and mindless lifestyle onto people with the Read more…
We’ve had the problem of perceiving money as having innate value for well over 5 centuries now, but the last 100 years has seen it taken to new heights. After the first war and especially after the second war, a Read more…
I have a sub-title of ‘A sense of belonging’ in this latest thread of posts. This is deliberate because we all need to feel that innate sense of belonging to something. In its healthy form it can create a wonderful Read more…
To understand economics and how the globalized world we take for granted today came about, in today’s post I would like to tell a story. It’s a greatly simplified story but the essence is quite solid, and I hope that Read more…
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. @science & metaphysics When I talk of community it is more than a group pf people living and working Read more…
